Château Latour--Vintage 2006
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden, three and six-bottle cases
Tasting note: The 2006 Latour performed even better from bottle than from barrel. Only 38 of the production (10,000 cases) made it into the grand vin, a blend of 86 Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest primarily Merlot and a small amount of Cabernet Franc. From barrel, I thought it was a modern day version of the 1996 or 1986, and certainly the 1996 comparison still holds. I thought it was somewhat austere from barrel, but that is no longer an issue. This is a beautifully rich Château Latour boasting a dense ruby/purple color, a sweet, smoky, charcoal, cassis, graphite, and forest floor-scented nose, full body, an attractive freshness, and sweet, noble tannins. This layered Latour is one of the vintage's top dozen or so wines. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2030. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #181, February 2009
